Out to sea to get away from the storm. http://www.military.com/daily-news/...r-frankenstorm.html?comp=1198882887570&rank=2
My preparations... My family is experiencing Hurricane Sandy first hand, being 20 miles NW of center city Philadelphia...and even though the storm has been buffeting our region, we as a family have been prepared for disaster for years, having bought and stored the essentials such as food, water, candles, batteries, plywood, tarps, guns/ammo and a 7500 WATT 13 HP generator with 6.6 fuel tank with 30 gallons of extra gas and power strips. All three of our SUVs are also gassed up....and bug-out bags standing by !! Specs: 2-AC Duplex 120V Outlets, 1-120V Twist-Lock Outlet, 1-120/240V Twist-Lock Outlet, 1-12V DC Full load fuel consumption (gallons/hour) 0.64 Rated wattage continuous (watts) 6000 Rated wattage peak (watts) 7500
Looks like you're on the way to being prepared. If you're like me there's always something I forgot. Nothing but clouds and wind here in S.C.
Uff up here in NH it's been like the 4th of July, transformers blowing up all over the place. I've seen 3 of them blow in the last hour or so, fortunately ours across the street is still working so we're a little bastion of light in an otherwise dark, wet, and windy world. Joe
This is SHOOTER13 reporting: Well, my area weathered the worst that Sandy could muster with flying colors... other than a major cleanup of limbs and branches...my few block radius went basically unscathed...we lost cable TV and cable Internet from about midnite to 10 this morning... and off in the distance our far neighbors are still without power, as I seen no lights last night from my hilltop vantage point...and still hear their generators chugging this afternoon. I just got back in from about four hours worth of picking up wood and leaves...but everyone is still breathing. That's all for now...this is SHOOTER13 reporting from SE Pennsylvania... wishing everyone good luck with their cleanup !!
